To restore a case study you previously worked on, you choose "restore Session" on the main menu.
Restoring a previous Session on the Case Study Lab
Users can restore a previously started session by reloading the files saved
- in the first setup phase of the case study, or
- from the files saved at the end of a session.
The folder saved as a .zip file at the end of the first phase has the following structure
|-UnityOfAnalysis |---nbs_xyz.jpg |---data_abcd.json |-Notes |---notes_first_abcd.json |-Entities |---selected_entities_abcd.json |-DecisionProcessFlow |---diagram.png |---diagram.bpmn report_abcd.docx
The folder saved as a .zip file at the end of the experiment has the following structure
|-UnityOfAnalysis |---nbsxyz.jpg |---data_abcd.json |-Notes |---notes_first_abcd.json |---notes_fcm_abcd.json |-Entities |---selected_entities_abcd.json |-DecisionProcessFlow |---diagram.png |---diagram.bpmn |-CognitiveMap |---tables |---network |---abcd_network_analysis_20250405_174315.csv |---abcd_network_analysis_20250405_174141.csv |---equilibriums |---abcd_equilibriums_20250405_174527.csv |---comparisons |---abcd_comparison_table_20250405_174527.csv |---plots |---simulations |---abcd_simulation_table_20250405_174322.csv |---abcd_simulation_plot_20250405174321.png |---abcd_simulation_plot_20250405174321.html |---interventions |---abcd_intervention_plot_20250405174528.png |---abcd_intervention_plot_20250405174528.html |---abcd_intervention_details_20250405_174527.json |---init_states |---abcd_init_state_plot_20250405174315.png |---abcd_init_state_plot_20250405174315.html |---abcd_initial_states_20250405_174315.json |---map |---cognitive_map_2025-04-05T15-41-40.json |---img |---abcd_map_2025-04-05T17-41-41.png |---weight_matrix_abcd.csv |-report_abcd.docx |-final_report_abcd.docx
Restore sequence available
The restore screen shows four steps
Users can upload the files relevant to the definition of the Unit of Analysis: the .json file containing the NUTS, NBS and CEC selections, and the .jpg file which is the thumbnail of the selected NBS.
Users may decide to start a new session from this point ("Restore from here" button), or go to the next step ("Continue to upload" button) to load the saved BPMN diagram and its image.
Again users may decide to start a new session from this point ("Restore from here" button), or go to the next step ("Continue to upload" button) to load the saved list of entities previously selected, along with the intermediate report that will be updated and completed with the new session.
In the last restore step available, users restore the FCM previously created and saved, and continue their new experiment with the restored set of data.
